Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of the social media
giant Facebook has been testified before the Congress for the first time on
Tuesday, April 10, for his and company’s failure to protect user information
following the Cambridge Analytica Scam. Mark Zuckerberg has been asked to
appear for joint hearing organised by Senate judiciary and commerce committees.
On Wednesday, Zuckerberg testified in front of the house Energy and Commerce
Committee. It won’t be easy for Mark Zuckerberg.
There will be no of people ought who to Facebook to be
broken. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., recently said: “There are have been a number of
proposals and ideas for doing it, and I think unless [Zuckerberg] finds a way
to honour the promise he made several years ago, he’s gonna have a law on his
hands.”
There are lots of people believe that he should resign or
fired from his job. On Tuesday, ahead of the first testimony in front of
Congress, an activist investor group Open MIC and its CEO Michael Connor said
in a statement, “Mark Zuckerberg prepared testimony highlights a simple fact:
He doesn’t understand how a large, global and publicly held company is run. He
currently has two jobs at Facebook – CEO and Chairman of the boards. It’s time
for him to give up at least one, if not both, titles.”
“It is long past time for Facebook to separate the roles
of company CEO and Chairman,” Connor continued, “and for Mark Zuckerberg to
resign or be fired.”
Zuckerberg will do his best to defend himself and his
company from questions from Congress.
Zuckerberg Opening Statement “We face a number of
important issues around the privacy, safety, and democracy, and you will
rightfully have some hard questions for me to answer”
“Facebook is an
idealistic and optimistic company. For most of our existence, we focused on all
the good that connecting people can bring. As Facebook has grown, people
everywhere have gotten a powerful new tool to stay connected to the people
everywhere have gotten a powerful new tool to stay connected to the people they
love, make their voices heard, and build communities and businesses.”
